‘Success was the direct result of my ability to influence’

Fred Ward

Fred Ward took over as CEO of fast-growing Marquee Dental Partners from founder Jim Usdan earlier this year, about 12 months after coming aboard as COO. Ward has spent most of the past decade in the dental practice management business and before that was an operations VP at Carlson Hospitality Worldwide and restaurant giant Yum! Brands. He spoke recently with Post Editor Geert De Lombaerde about his background and plans for Marquee.
